Hi all, I was looking into determine the size of some text on 2 websites (basically it is 2 websites a dev and a live copy and I wanted to determine whether they are the same on every browser) and because I couldn't find a way to do that in IEs, I thought I will write a very small internal script to find out:
<script>
var size = $(".myDiv p").css("font-size");
console.log("The size is: " + size);
</script>
That worked ok but I am now trying to put the values I got back from it in use. In IE9 the first website returned this value: 11.93px; The second 12.13px. Now my question is about rounding up and down. From memory and experience I think IEs round everything up, which, in a case like 9.5px is quite easy, because you will get 10px, but what about in relation to the values output above? What's the real size of the text in pixel?
Also, how about the other browsers? Having a quick look around I found this http://ejohn.org/blog/sub-pixel-problems-in-css/ which helps to an extent, but still not quite clear
ANy idea?
thanks
